Still in trouble over evolution

Associated Press · April 13, 1964

Miss Martha Powell (left) and Dorrie Doss are shown in a biology laboratory at Memphis State University a year ago when they got into trouble for teaching evolution in a high school where they were practice teachers. A year later Miss Powell has her diploma but no teaching job. She feels the brush with Tennessee's law against teaching evolution in public schools ruined her teaching career but says she would do it again.
